Lyon is one of the tightest rental markets in France: between students arriving from spring onwards, young professionals and job relocations, demand far exceeds supply in most districts.
A Lyon-based Sherlock, VisitItForMe’s trusted local visitor, goes on site for you, checks the flat and sends a full report with photos. You can submit a credible application without having set foot in the city.

A trusted local visitor, whose profile and reviews you can check, accepts your request. You chat with them through the built-in messaging.
After the viewing, the Sherlock sends you a report with photos, their honest impressions and answers to all your questions.
The academic year concentrates thousands of searches on the same districts within weeks, around the La Doua, Lyon 2 and Lyon 3 campuses. For a student preparing their arrival from another region or abroad, a delegated viewing is often the only way to move fast enough.
Lyon also varies widely from one district to another, between the old buildings on the Croix-Rousse slopes, the recent developments of Confluence and the 1960s blocks of Villeurbanne. An on-site look makes all the difference before committing.
